I love JM presses! I have to do them with the EZ bar because the Oly bar kills my elbows for some reason.

That's how I do them as well. I get weird looks putting 2 45's + per side on an ez bar. Gotta love it

Ha I'm the complete opposite. Anything with the ez bar for tri's kill my elbows. I think I'm gonna sub the EZ bar incline EXT's for DB French press.

Once you find the groove with this exercise it is pure tricep heaven...let the haters envy!

Agreed.

Here's some progress/Beginning of MD nudes. The first set is from my first day with my diet coach and the last set is from this morning. The only measurements I took was around my waist at my belly button. So far I'm down almost 2 inches so far which isn't bad but I wish I would have made better progress thus far anyway here's the pics.

April 11th






May 7th








Ill probably do another set of pics and measurements in 2-3 weeks. I may also start doing BF% checks. I have a pair of calipers but I can never get an accurate or consistent reading so I don't use them.

Thanks brotha. That's what the tape says anyway. Doing the measurements myself its kind of hard to tell but I take them like 5 times in a row to make sure I get it to repeat. Doesn't quite feel like 2" but I can tell clothes are fitting more loosely so that's a plus.

Ugh everyone around me is getting sick! Trying like hell not to catch anything but went to bed with fever/chills last night and woke up completely drenched in sweat this morning! Dont feel sick just a little achey and ran down all day. My wife and son both have bronchitis and 3 guys at work have the flu. Went in and hit back this morning wasnt really feeling it but figured I better get my ass in gear and go. Had a pretty decent session. Legs either tomorrow or Saturday.

Solid session man. Nice job getting in the gym after not feeling well.

[LizKing531]

Good lifts!

I totally hear ya - I've been hacking, coughing, sneezing, etc for at least 2 weeks now... Hoping it clears up soon - yesterday I was out for the night by 7pm (unless you count waking up on the couch & moving to bed @11pm)
